THE CLASS OF 1895 

" Then in youth's fervor and passion you promised 
" Steadfast for truth and for justice to strive. 

" What have ye done with the talents I lent ye ? 
" Render accounting, oh Ninety and Five ! " 

Much with misgiving the children make answer. 

Meagre the increase their talents have earned. 
Scanty the laurels that press on their foreheads. 

Little remains of the lore that they learned. 

Logic, Latinity sleep sound forever. 

German and Greek are of little repute. 
Calculus fled o'er the Pons Asinorum. 

Dead is the ablative absolute. 

Angles and acids reverted to chaos ; 

Malthus and Carpenter no more extant. 
Even the man of priori cognitions. 

Tell you his name ? To save them they can't. 

Yet tho' the rules and the sums be forgotten, 

Never to trouble their slumber again, 
Hold thy head high, thou art blest in thy children. 

Mother of scholars and mother of men ! 

See them unnoted performing their task work, 
Firm in the faith that thou gavest their youth. 

Bearing thy message, wearing thy emblem, 
Purple for nobleness, white for the truth. 

Earnest, straightforward, clear-eyed, uncorrupted. 
Shirking no service, but giving their best. 

Careless of fame, and fearing but failure. 

Ranked with the right when it comes to the test. 

Amherst, thy sons fail not of their promise. 

Through them the hopes of thy heart shall survive. 
Well hast thou sown, fear not for the harvest, 

This is the answer of Ninety and Five. 

Wn^LIAM J. BOAEDMAN. 



AMHEEST COLLEGE 



THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH 

The graduate of Amherst who returns to its scenes of beauty 
drinks from the true fountain of youth. The views of mountain and 
of ^valley inspire him with new life, wliile the familiar surroundings 
remind him constantly of the time when he, as a student, first became 
deeply conscious of the central facts of history, literature, and philos- 
ophy. To see Amherst is to renew one's loyalty to the dear old college. 

I. 

'Tis long since the courtly Spaniard came 

In his garb of steel and lace, 
With his ancient name and his puissant fame, 

And his subtle, languid grace. 

With many a knight in armor bright 

He sought in the land of flowers 
A fountain with sands of crystal white 

Enmeshed in the woodland bowers. 

He dared to dream that its sparkling stream 

Would freshen his blood with youth 
Till all the varied world would seem 

Enshrined in beauty and truth. 

II. 

Today, delighted, we bend the knee 

In a place where the magic grace 
Of youth is found eternally, — 

And we gaze with reverent face 

At silent and dim blue hills that rise 

On every side, and mount 
And melt in blue, blue depth of skies 
That grace the mystic fount. 



THE CLASS or 1895 

The circled mountains weave their spell 

With serried peaks of blue. 
And ever in green-clad field and dell 

Are voices calling you, — 

The pleasant voice of the wind that comes 

With its balmy odor of pine 
And its hint of the place where the partridge drums 

In a tangle of bramble and vine ; 

The sob and sigh of the bending grass, 

The purl of the willowed stream, 
The varied insect voices that pass 

And come and go as a gleam 

Of light comes and dances and flees, — 

The voice of the hidden bird. 
And the restless, droning hum of the bees, — 

Like far-off music heard. 

Spread far about this ma,gic place 

The buttercup lifts its head; 
A thousand gTasses give their grace 

To petals of varied red. 

III. 

We live the life of long ago 

When the whole wide world was new ; 

We are young with the Greeks who heard the flow 
Of Demosthenes' speech and grew 

To be lovers and patient makers of art ; 

We feel ISTew Learning sweep 
From the conquered East and stir the heart 

Of a darkened world to leap 



AMHEEST COLLEGE 

Beyond the forms of an ancient past; 

We see old systems turn 
To new, and thought in nobler cast . 

Grow more and more and yearn 

With Hegel and Kant for the mountain height 

Of loftiest, noblest man 
Illumined with pure, eternal light 

That speaks of time nor span. 

IV. 

Again old voices, — again old dreams, — 

Again old hopes we know, — 
Reflected far from glorious gleams 

That came in the long ago. 

Yet still the eternal hills remain 

Blue and misty and far ; 
And we bless the mountain and valley and plain 

Where youth and its secrets are.

THE DECENNIAL KEUOTON 



THE PKEPARATION^S FOR THE DECENNIAL. 

The first steps toward getting the Class back to the Decennial 
Reunion were taken by Belden, the president of the Class, in 
the fall of 1904. An enthusiastic mid-winter dinner was held 
at the Cafe des Beaux Arts in New York City, on Saturday, 
the 14:th day of January, 1905. About thirty men attended. 
A committee, consisting of Belden, Burnett, Lawson, Morrow 
and H. L. Pratt, was appointed to take charge of the coming 
Reunion. The Committee began work at once. Under its 
direction, three numbers of the Ninety-Eive Bulletin were pub- 
lished and sent to all the members of the Class. At the same 
time a systematic effort was made to reach each member of the 
Class with personal letters from his most intimate friends. 

So many men assisted the Committee in its work that it is 
difficult to mention one without doing injustice to others. 
Kimball, however, deserves special credit for rounding up the 
splendid Western delegation that was present. His Round 
Robin letters travelled up into Minnesota, down into Arizona, 
and out to the Pacific Coast, coming back to him safely with 
valuable data about men who had not been heard from for a 
long time. 

The Committee felt unanimously that the expense of the 
Reunion to the men who came back should be made as light 
as possible. Inasmuch as the members of the Class are widely 
scattered, the travelling expenses of some men would be much 
greater than others. It therefore seemed wise to ask the mem- 
bers of the Class to subscribe sufficient money to make it pos- 
sible to say that those who came back would be put to no ex- 
pense except their expense for meals while in Amherst. The 
response to the call for subscriptions was very gratifying. 



14 THE CLASS OF 1895 

Almost $1,400 was raised without any trouble. The expenses 
of the Eeunion were about $800, and there therefore remains 
in the treasury of the Class about $600 to be used for some col- 
lege purpose to be determined by the Committee appointed by 
the Class at the meeting held June 26th, 1905. 

The whole Class labored to make the Eeunion a success and 
every man who was fortunate enough to be there realizes that 
it was a success. 

Entirely apart from the large attendance at the Decennial 
Eeunion, the work done in preparing for the Eeunion has 
already shown itself in a strong revival of class spirit. 



THE OCCASIOIvT 

It is seemly that a narrative touching on the Decennial of 
Ninety-five should be written, yet the preparation thereof is an 
unenviable task for the reason that the most golden words must 
be as tarnished brass beside the aureole which crowns that event 
in the memory of its participants. Furthermore, the chronicle 
should not follow "total recall" (a thousand pardons!), but 
should dwell upon the more noteworthy events. But at the 
Eeunion, everything that was said or seen, heard or done, was a 
desideratum per se. Therefore, in the nature of things, the 
journal of the Decennial must be either very incomplete, or as 
bald as the poll of perfect pilosity. 

Priority of arrival from the outer world is claimed by Lane 
of waning strength and Barnes of waxing girth. Both reached 
Amherst on Thursday, but neither will commit himself as to 
the hour through fear of giving the other an advantage in the 
argument. 

According to the program, the colors were formally raised 
Friday evening. The item is correct if "colors" means hulla- 
baloo. Every fifteen minutes a newcomer would appear 
through the dark, and the trees turned green with envy of the 



AMHEEST COLLEGE 15 

barks that greeted him. Threescore repetitions did not stale 
the enjoyment of welcoming a chap that had been beyond the 
horizon for years. 

Saturday morning it rained ^NTinety-five. They came in by 
every means of locomotion, except wings, and when we marched 
to Pratt Field with Wes Burnham in the van, the front ranks 
couldn't tell whether the rear guard were singing "Three 
Cheers for the Irish" or "The Banks of the Old Freshman." 
The game was between Williams and Amherst, and served as a 
curtain-raiser to the heroic struggle of Monday afternoon with 
the well-preserved Elder Statesmen of Eighty-five, which was 
lost because Pratt and Belden batted all the air away from the 
home-plate, leaving no atmospheric pressure tp make Bridg- 
man's pitching curly. 

That Saturday had an evening. It was brilliant. It was 
also long. It was not inaudible. "Let 'em all come" was the 
watchword, and none failed to be there. "Tight-wad" was not 
breathed until later. Above, around, beneath and sideways 
were sunlit clouds of joy, I was intei^ pocula, though I did not 
poculate, yet my memories of the evening are shadowy with 
prismatic splendors. A lull came about two o'clock, when Gus- 
sie Post put his Jim Hyde out of the window of the violent 
ward and spoke with weird words. Then five hundred mem- 
bers of Oughty-five, with, the whole Faculty and Board of 
Trustees, headed by an African with ivory-barred face and flut- 
tering feet came up the winding stair and whispered, like three 
thunder-claps, "Aren^t you thirsty?" 

Sunday was a day of rest. 

Only the laity and sinners had arrived at this time. I realized 
this fact as I peered around from my point of vantage during 
the Baccalaureate service in vain endeavor to catch a glimpse 
of some of my mates. George Olds found a seat for Mrs. Olds, 
' and sidled toward the entrance, and I saw him no more. Doubt- 
less the absentees hold that fifty-one times a year is often 
enough to go to church. 



16 THE CLASS or 1895 

The only sad hour of the whole week was the afternoon 
memorial service for Lyall, Penny, and Warren. 

Monday morning the clergy arrived, and as I looked at them 
and talked with them, my best wish for the ministry of America 
was that it might never fall short of the sincerity and broad 
humanity which marks the clerical wing of Kinety-five. 

The dinner was the climax of the Reunion. The food was so 
good and so abundant that you wished the Korwood might cater 
for all banquets. Judge John Percival Deering presided and 
set a high example of tact, spontaneity and humor for all other 
toastmasters to emulate. I have been at many feasts where 
after wagging of teeth came waning of tongues, but I have 
never heard a better set of after-dinner speeches than those 
which were prima facie evidence of the freedom and grasp of 
N^inety-five's maturing mind. 

After Monday there were very few programized events. The 
Competitive Gym Drill did not happen because '55 found a 
technical fault in the challenge. Still we shied the dumb-bells, 
hit the punching bag and dropped bowling-balls on our toes 
after the ancient and orthodox manner. 

The receptions at the homes of Professor and Mrs. Olds and 
Professor and Mrs. Garman were affairs to be remembered. 
We wish that they happened to us oftener. 

The Alumni Dinner was remarkably like previous ones, and 
abounded with noise, wit, eloquence, and over-eating. 

A summary of the more prominent events depicts only the 
skeleton of the Reunion. To breathe Amherst air again, to 
gaze on her unrivalled horizon, to sit at Hitchcock Hall and 
look at your fellows, to converse with them, casually to praise 
them or, peradventure, amicably to insult them, to swap sere 
and yellow jokes, to go trolley-riding, to visit the Fraternity 
House, to peek into class-rooms where once you suffered, to 
clamber up Chapel Tower, to be glad generally, to feel as 
though, for once, you had got behind the looking-glass, these 
and other all-important and unf orgetable nothings were what 



AMHERST COLLEGE " -••< 

made up the real Keunion, for it was all things to all men. 
There were other doings, of course ; but the specific affairs did 
not really amount to much, compared with the abstract condi- 
tion of being alive at that particular time and in that particular 
place. Mention should not be omitted, however, of the little 
back room where the married and engaged men did funny 
things with red and white buttons, chanting intermittently a 
quaint recitative about "every time they do something or other, 
it costs a quarter." 

Mention of the married men calls to mind a brilliant and de- 
lightful fact. Without question the greatest advance that 
ISFinety-five has made since graduation is its broad-minded 
acceptance of the principle of co-education in its post-graduate 
course. Aforetime I had wondered if worthy successors to the 
perfect women among my elderly friends could be found in 
these days of slangy and sophisticated Amazons. All appre- 
hensions were set at rest by the wives of N"inety-five. IsTothing 
did more to raise my esteem of my class-mates than their selec- 
tion (it was really predestination, of course, but "selection" is 
a shorter word) of wives. Pessimism must be silent before so 
abundant, living proof that true womanhood shows no sign of 
perishing from the earth. 

The Eeunion was the most successful of all successes. It 
was pleasure unalloyed. It was stimulus to honorable achieve- 
ment. It was food and drink to optimism. It brought together 
a company of men that are of the kind the world needs. Some 
have made their mark, and we are proud of them. But emi- 
nence is not the greatest thing a man can have. It is only rela- 
tive and only a few may gain it. The thing that really counts 
is a shoulder at the wheel, pushing in the right direction. That 
is vital. That is absolute. That is the image which stands out 
most prominently in the composite picture of the impressions 
received at l^inety-five's Decennial.

Oh! Where are the laddies who homesickness knew, 

Freshmen of IsTinety-five ? 
If these are their faces, mj eyes are askew 

Looking for ISTinety-five. 
These are sedate and respectable men, 

Parsons and lawyers and peers of the pen. 
Never a noise. They're not the boys. 

Vocal for Ninety-five. 

I knew them the moment they started to yell : 

"Amherst and Ninety-five!" 
Their spirits and wind-pipes are both pretty well, 

Just as in Ninety-five. 
Bob has grown angular. Jim has grown fat. 
Dick wears the laurel, and I last year's hat. 
Frank makes the laws. Tom gives him cause. 

Bully for Ninety-five. 

They're not quite so learned as the day when they got 

Sheepskins in Ninety-five. 
But still they're a sightly and eye-filling lot. 

Credits to Ninety-five. 
Ten years have bettered and broadened their lives, 

Given them whiskers and babies and wives. 
Fred was the first. Then a cloud-burst 

Of youngsters for Ninety-five.

The world hasn't heard of them much; but you wait — 

Leave that to Ninety-five.

Barriers that hold them have got to remove.

SPEECHES 



AMASA JAMES LYALL 

Whatever is said in memory of Amasa Lyall must be done 
simply or it will be exceedingly inappropriate. And there is 
only too little to say, as he died about three years after gradua- 
tion, on October 3, 1898. The disease of which he died Avas 
consumption; and during most of the interveij.ing time after 
he left college he was a very sick man. 

In the fall of '95 Lyall entered the architectural course at 
Boston Tech. But he overworked, and his health could not 
stand the strain, so he left Boston early in the year and came 
back to his home in 'New York, where he did some light work 
in an architect's office. 

During the following year he undertook to design and build 
two cottages in Twilight Park, in the Catskill Mountains for 
his father and a friend, and in connection with this work spent 
much of his time at Hunter, IJ'J'. Y., which is in the Catskills. 
The winter of '97, however, found him so much weakened that 
a trip to Phoenix, Arizona, was decided upon as a last hope. 
Perhaps he was unfortunate in the weather there, at any rate 
the trip was a failure. He returned to ISTew York, spent the 
summer at the house he had built for his father in Twilight 
Park, and died there in the fall. Clinton Bell and myself 
attended the funeral, which was held in that same house that 
he had built. 

So the career of Amasa Lyall terminated at its start; and 
the two houses in Twilight Park are the only pieces of his work 
that stand to attest his talent and ability. These, however, are 
remarkably tasteful and have repeatedly been called the hand- 



26 



THE CLASS OF 1895 



somest houses in the Catskills. Especially that built for his 
father is a marvel of good taste, conscientiously designed and 
beautifully finished. I cannot adequately describe how excel- 
lently he has taken advantage of the romantic location and 
charming view, but I love to believe that it shows that had he 
been spared to this life, he would have won for himself a 
prominent place as an architect. 

Yet, while now his hand and brain can do no more work, his 
real lifework is still going on. For our achievements are in 
part his achievements. The generous sympathy he gave us, the 
ennobling influence of his character, and the intercourse we 
each of us had with him in these halls, have in part made us the 
men we are, and fitted us for our careers. But I find it a 
mighty consolation, when I grieve for this dear friend, with 
such great promise for success in life, who has been taken away 
at the very beginning of his work when he was making the first 
use of the attainments of the years of study we passed here to- 
gether with him — it is a great consolation to feel that the influ- 
ence of his virtue still lives and places upon us, as upon all 
who knew him, the duty to extend it by our own lives and 
achievements and so to be the instruments of his immortality. 

Alfeed Roelkee, Jk. 

Lyall had a nature that loved beauty, whether of form, or 
of color, or of deed. His room in college was an expression of 
self, for it bore witness to the harmony of his nature. Under 
his advice certain changes made in his fraternity house gave to 
his fraternity a lasting expression of his artistic gift. He 
hated the harsh notes of the voice, the boisterous roughness that 
is not akin to harmony of life, and, in equal measure, he loved 
quiet gentlemanliness. He was retiring in nature, and yet 
always ready to give kindly advice when his words might add 
to the beauty of other lives. He died, as was fitting, in a place 
of remarkable beauty. In him there was much that was akin 
to the melancholy but lovable natures of poets like Keats and 



AMHERST COLLEGE 



27 



Shelley. Like them, he did not live to put his beautiful ideals 
into many deeds. But deeds are not necessary. It is the ideal, 
the longing for something better, that counts. And just as 
Shelley and Keats have left upon the v^^orld their lasting im- 
pressions of the beautiful, so has Lyall left upon all who knew 
him that which makes their lives better. 

Fkedekick H. Law. 



THEODORE ATWATER PENNY 

Of Penny it is extremely difficult to speak. He came to 
Amherst from the West, from Idaho and Utah where his early 
life had been spent. Why he came I do not know, only that 
he desired an education. He was not naturally a scholar ; but 
somewhere, in some way, his ambition had been aroused and 
would not be satisfied short of an academic course. He had to 
work his way through college, as we know. He toiled on, how- 
ever, though it was severe, trying to overcome the disadvantages 
of his early years. Not many of us could or would have done 
it. 

Few of us knew Penny. Of his early life I know nothing. 
He came, raw, awkward, uncouth, yet with the heart and spirit 
of a man. Perhaps this very ignorance carries my imagination 
too far. But in his name, Theodore Atwater Penny, do I not 
see a trace of his lineage ? Atwater, it sounds to me like good 
old New England stock, the kind that in the early days went 
out and created upon the frontier the new states of the Union. 
Maybe I am wrong, but I can not help imagining that this is 
why he came to Amherst, so far from all friends and early sur- 
roundings. 

The quality that those of us who knew him best think of in 
connection with him is that of comradeship. He was one of us, 
always good natured, quiet, unobtrusive. He enjoyed sitting 
down with a group of men who were talking over athletic, col- 



28 



THE CLASS or 1895 



lege or fraternity affairs, or telling stories and passing a jolly 
hour. There he seemed to be at home. We are glad to remem- 
ber him because he helped men by his genial spirit, his atmo- 
sphere of friendliness, his willingness to lend a hand when it 
was possible for him to do so. 

While he was in college he did good, faithful work. His 
habits were good. I never heard anything against him. And 
when he left college, from what I have been able to learn, he 
continued the same honest work as before, and gained the 
esteem and praise of those with whom he labored, l^ot only 
was the quality of his work good, but the influence that he ex- 
erted during the years of his teaching was spoken of, at his 
death, as of the best. 

Heney W. Lane. 

Life is more eloquent than words in a mature man that is 
a man. But some men die in the making. So it was with 
Penny. He must be judged by his promise, not by his accom- 
plishment. 

The few facts that I know about his life after college have 
come to me indirectly from people that saw him during that 
time. The external situation was the following: He went 
from college into a position as substitute in a school at Sing- 
Sing, ]Sr. Y. This position was regarded as an excellent one. 
He was next heard of at Dudley, Mass., where he became an 
assistant in Nichols Academy. Here he did work of the first 
order, especially in mathematics. Literature, too, he did not 
neglect, for he organized a w^eekly Shakespeare Club. He was 
a regular attendant at church, being present indeed on the very 
day in 1899 on which he was drowned while swimming. A 
lonely funeral service, at which not a relative was present, took 
place in the church at Dudley; and the body, taken in charge 
by Mr, Benner, a former instructor of Penny, but at this time 
teacher in a boys' school at Wellesley, Mass., was buried in 
the latter town. 



AMHERST COLLEGE 29 

As to his life from within, his old instructor speaks in warm 
praise of its trait of perseverance. He was regarded in Dud- 
ley as a man of reserve, but a pleasant neighbor. Few felt that 
they knew him. Eastman, who saw him toward the end of his 
life, thought he showed marked signs of discouragement. 

You remember how Penny, the bell-ringer, summoned us 
month after month to our collegiate duties. So Penny, our 
early-lost classmate, is still summoning us to our duty toward 
his long line of successors in discouragement and loneliness, 
that need the friendly hand. 

Charles T. Burnett. 



HERBERT LAKIN WARREN 

Waeeen died on October 25, 1901, after an illness of two 
days, of Bright's disease. 

His life since graduation from Amherst had been just like 
his life in college, — quiet, unostentatious, kind, full of good 
results. He never had learned to live otherwise than he had 
been taught by his mother and father in a home cultured, re- 
fined, preserving the best of New England ideals. 

The year after leaving Amherst was spent at that home in 
Holden, Massachusetts, and the fall of 1896 Warren entered 
the Law School of Harvard University, desiring to know some- 
thing of the principles of the law as affecting business. Eor 
Warren always expected to enter business, for which he was 
by nature and by training eminently fitted. In the spring of 
'97 the opportunity came, and he established the Westboro 
Underwear Co., located in Westboro, Massachusetts. In this 
business he continued as long as he lived, increasing it in size 
and establishing it upon a sound and successful basis. 

In April, 1899, Warren was married to Katherine Sweet, of 
Canton, Pennsylvania, and his married life was singularly 
happy, spent for the most part at the beautiful home Warren 
and his wife made in Westboro.

THE CLASS OF 1895 



Those qualities of fair-mindedness and charity towards 
others, which we saw in him in our college life, increased as he 
saw life in its broader aspects, and he constantly lived upon 
the principle that others who differed from him were, neverthe>- 
less, as honest and as conscientious as he. This characteristic 
brought the inevitable result of many friends and few or no 
enemies. 

Whatever perplexities or anxieties Warren may have had 
they were never evident to others. This was true because War- 
ren believed that the way to live was with an unruffled exterior, 
seeking to be contented after the best effort had been made, and 
never distressing others with those things which were a personal 
burden. The extreme proof of this belief of Warren's is found 
in the fact that though he knew for some three years that his 
health was far from robust, yet at his request neither his par- 
ents nor his wife were told of that fact. For, as he said, "They 
could be of no help, and it would trouble them." 

Warren is buried in his native town, Holden. It has been 
the good fortune of the writer to go frequently to the Warren 
home in Holden. There he always finds a kind and strong in- 
terest in the affairs of Amherst, and especially in the members 
and in the doings of the Class of IsTinety-five. Eecently War- 
ren's mother asked especially about the plans for the Re- 
union, about those whom we expected to have back, expressing 
a cordial interest in it all, and in us who had known and loved 
her son. Chaeles A. Andrews. 



HARRY LEMUEL TWICHELL 

Since the Decennial Reunion one member of our Class has 
been taken away, Harry Lemuel Twichell, or "Twich," as he 
was more intimately known to us all. He died of typhoid fever 
in ISTew York City, December 2, 1905, after an illness of three 
weeks. At the time of his death he was associated in the prac-

tice of law, as he had been for four years, with E. S. Kounds, 
Amherst '8Y. The following extract is from an appreciation 
by Mr. Rounds, published in March, 1906, in the "Purple and 
Gold," the organ of the Chi Psi Fraternity. 

"Brother Twichell was still young, not in spirit only, but in 
years, having been born in 1873, at Burdette, Schuyler County, 
New York, where his father was pastor of the Presbyterian 
Church. His boyhood was that of any bright, active, and mis- 
chievous country boy, and the turning point in his life came in 
1891, when he entered Amherst College, was initiated into Chi 
Psi and formed his friendship with Brother Frink, then profes- 
sor of rhetoric, who was a father to the boys of Alpha Chi and 
to whom Brother Twichell became greatly attached. Indeed, 
it was Brother Frink who, at the end of young Twichell' s 
course, gave him a fixed purpose by helping him to choose the 
law as a profession, and Brother Frink's insight is shown by 
his reference, in graduation week, to the ^energy, enthusiasm, 
self-reliance and hearty sympathy' which have been so strik- 
ingly shown in Brother Twichell' s later life. 

"Immediately after commencement the young graduate 
came to N^ew York City, where he took his LL.B. at the ISTew 
York Law School, paying his way during his course by teach- 
ing mathematics in the evening. 

"His admission to the bar followed in 1897, and after that 
came two or three years of practice and preparation and then 
he started his own practice. 

"This is no place to speak of Brother Twichell's skill as a 
lawyer, his enviable standing in his profession, and the good 
fight that he made to win his success, nor of his bright pros- 
pects of future honors. It is hardly the place to describe his 
personal charm and character, his geniality and sympathy that 
gave him hosts of friends; and the loyalty, unselfishness and 
sincerity that bound his friends so closely to him ; and his 
cheerful courage, high ideals and steadfastness of purpose that 
so impressed all who met him."

THE CLASS OF 1895 



A memorial meeting in honor of Twichell was held at the 
Chi Psi Club in I^ew York City, December 18, 1905, by the 
Chi Psi Club and the Chi Psi Alumni Society of 'New York 
City, acting jointly. Twichell had been for a considerable 
period secretary and treasurer of the fraternity, a member of 
the board of governors, and one of the founders of the Club, 
and for some years secretary and treasurer of the Chi Psi 
Alumni Society of Kew York City. 

The burial service was held at the cemetery chapel of Au- 
burn, i^r. Y.

broken all other records. The beautiful cup is entitled to its 
meed of credit for the showing, but back of this jocular rivalry 
is plainly the feeling that Amherst is in good hands and de- 
serves well of her sons.

THE COMMENCEMENT DINNER 



[From The (Springfield, Mass.) Republican, June 29, 1905] 

It was plain long before "Old Doc's" son had summoned the 
waiting classes to table that the "gym" wouldn't hold them all. 
As it was, some of the cub alumni of 1905 had to go somewhere 
else to eat, though they squeezed in afterward to hear the speak- 
ing and to help in the singing and yelling that was kept up 
through the dinner and speaking hour. A suggestion that next 
year the gallery might have to be cleared of their fair spectators 
to make room was met with a chorus of noes from the diners. 
Rev. Dr. George Washburn, formerly president of Robert Col- 
lege, Constantinople, now of Chelsea, said grace, and after din- 
ner James L. Bishop, '65, of JSTew York City, president of the 
alumni association, acted as toastmaster. President Harris was 
warmly greeted, and was in especially "good form" as he pro- 
ceeded with the account of his stewardship. The year's pro- 
gress, much as you have had it, was reviewed briefly, the presi- 
dent speaking with much cordiality of the personality and work 
of Professor Esty, who retires after long service as head of 
the department of mathematics. A welcome announcement by 
the president was that William R. Mead, '67, of the well-known 
l^ew York architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, who 
has personally directed the restoration of College Hall, has 
promised a new bell for the chapel. It has been cracked for 
some time, and the church bell has had to be turned to secular 
uses. The president also spoke feelingly of the deaths of Rev. 
Dr. Donald and Rev. Dr. Burnham, trustees of the college, 
and announced that their places had been filled by the elec-

THE CLASS OF 1895 



tion of Kev. Dr. Cornelius H. Patton, '83, formerly of St. 
Louis, and now secretary of the American Board, and Rer. 
Dr. Wilford L. Robbins, '81, of 'New York. There are about 
thirty more applicants for admission to the college than there 
were a year ago at this time. 

President Harris returned the toastmaster's compliment by 
explaining the service that the latter had rendered as counsel 
for Amherst in the Fayerweather will case, which had been 
finally settled, unless it should be appealed to the Hague tri- 
bunal. Mr. Bishop, in responding, paid a warm tribute to 
Mr. Fayerweather, who had benefited so many institutions of 
learning without the thought of attaching his name to a build- 
ing or a scholarship in connection therewith. Congressman 
George P. Lawrence gave a witty and eloquent speech for the 
25-year class. Incidentally he called attention to the fact that 
President Roosevelt is a member of the class of 1880, though 
in another college. He suggested that the President may have 
feared that there wouldn't be enough strenuous life here, but he 
testified from a memory of twenty-five years back that hunting 
mountain lions would have been a peaceful pastime compared 
to reciting in chemistry to Professor Harris. And there were 
more "cracks" of the same sort and a glowing tribute to the 
college that was warmly applauded. Rev. Dr. Robbins, one 
of the new trustees, spoke briefly and forcefully of the value of 
Amherst's work as a small and not very rich college. The pur- 
suit of mere bigness was a danger of the times to be avoided. 
Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister, introduced 
as a naturalized member of the class of '85, was received with 
enthusiasm by the alumni rising. He addressed the gathering 
as "fellow alumni," much to their delight, and in a brief and 
witty speech paid tribute to Amherst and especially to the "un- 
equalled class of '85." It should be said that a good deal of 
the fun of the afternoon was made in the course of exaggerated 
eulogy of the classes of which the speakers chanced to be mem- 
bers. Sir Chentung was only loyal to his own. He aroused 



AMHERST COLLEGE 



39 



another burst of applause when he declared that he had joined 
the University Club in Washington, D. C, by virtue of his hon- 
orary degree received from Amherst two years ago. He thought 
it would add another Amherst man to the membership, and he 
believed in doing a good turn for "his alma mater" in little as 
well as great things when he got a chance. He spoke only as 
"one of the alumni" and not as a diplomat, for the good diplo- 
mat is the one who knows how to keep his mouth shut. 

Dwight W. Morrow, '95, of IsTew York made a decided hit 
with his speech for the 10-year class. It abounded in clever 
hits, chiefly for Amherst consumption. He declared that the 
class had grown from the 74 who graduated by the addition of 
56 wives and 64 children, and of the latter 30 were born before 
the consulate of Theodore Roosevelt. The class had a captain 
in the regular army, a real live congressman and a real cap- 
tain of industry, who spent half of his time dodging the missiles 
of that distinguished altruist of Boston and the other half in 
trying to find a Congregational clergyman in 'New England 
who, when he offered him bread, wouldn't look for a stone. In 
closing he spoke of the value of the alumnus in returning now 
and then for new inspiration to where his castles in Spain 
looked as clear as when he first started in their quest. 
Grosvenor H. Backus of Brooklyn, JST. Y., president of the class 
of 1894, holder of the alumni trophy, then turned it over to 
the class of 1880 in a witty speech.

DBCElSriSriAL BUSINESS 



AMHEEST COLLEGE ^^ 



SPECIAL BUSINESS 



The following items of special business were accomplished 
at the regular business meeting held just before the banquet on 
Monday evening. These officers were elected for the ensuing 
five years : President, Belden ; Vice-president, Professor Olds ; 
Secretary, Burnett; Treasurer, Tyler. A committee was 
elected to raise from the class a sum of money to be used in the 
interest of the college, the special disposition of the fund so 
raised to be left to this committee. Its members are Morrow, 
Boardman, Burnett, and' President Belden, ex-officio. 

It was voted also that the Secretary be authorized to publish 
a class book, as a record of the Decennial ; that each member 
be assessed not more than two dollars for each copy desired ; and 
that the Secretary be authorized to call upon members for 
assistance in compilation of material for the book. 

At the direction of the Class, the Secretary sent a cablegram 
of greeting to ISTichols in Porto Eico. 

These further items of business were accomplished formally 
or informally during the Eeunion. The Secretary was directed 
to send letters to the wife and the mother of Warren, and the 
mother of Lyall, telling them of the memorial meeting held for 
the dead members of the Class. A very appreciative letter has 
since been received from Mrs. Lyall. Two large bouquets of 
American Beauty roses were sent to Mrs. Olds in acknowledg- 
ment of the special hospitality extended by her to the wives. 
Boardman was appointed a collector to raise one hundred dol- 
lars in two-dollar subscriptions for the running expenses of the 
next five years. The thanks of the Class were sent to Professor 
and Mrs. Garman and to Professor and Mrs. Olds for their 
hospitality.

THE PEOFESSOR OLDS' FUND 



At the Triennial Eeunion in 1898 the Class appointed a 
committee, consisting of Herbert L. Pratt, Eoberl B. Osgood, 
and Dwight W. Morrow, to collect money from the members of 
the Class for some college purpose. As Professor Olds had 
always been closely identified with the Class, it seemed pe- 
culiarly fitting to use the money for his department. Sub- 
scriptions were sought from every man in the Class. Forty 
men subscribed. Each subscription ran for a term of five years, 
the amount of the subscriptions ranging from $1.00 annually 
to $10.00 annually. The total sum of money collected has 
been $379.61, of which $250.00 has been paid to Professor 
Olds, leaving a balance of $129.61 in the hands of the Treas- 
urer of the fund. 

The use that Professor Olds has made of the money is shown 
by the following extract from one of his letters : 

"This year, for instance, I have bought a set of compact 
logarithmic tables, which can be used in all tests. I have also 
paid for the materials to make a Plancellier Cell (to draw a 
straight line). IsTow and then we can buy a portrait of some 
famous old fellow to hang on our walls — again, some duplicates 
of library books to accommodate advanced students, as Garman, 
you remember, does with his class fund." 

How much "Georgie" has appreciated our small gift is best 
told in his own words : 

"It's the faith of you '95 fellows in me, your 'class boy,' that 
has been again and again the fairest reward of my college 
work." 



52 THE CLASS OF 1895 

HELP FOR CHARLES THOMPSON 

In the summer of 1902 the Secretary received a letter from 
Professor Thompson of the College, asking whether the Class 
would be willing to contribute ten dollars annually for the sup- 
port of "Old Charlie," the immemorial janitor of the old dor- 
mitories, now forced out of all work by the disabilities of old 
age. The case was such as to make a strong appeal to Amherst 
men. Other classes too were asked to join in this work. The 
Secretary has, on his own responsibility, undertaken to gather 
annually since then the sum mentioned, by soliciting subscrip- 
tions of one dollar from different members. He has so far not 
been completely successful, only thirty-three dollars having 
been collected. 



THE PENNY MEMORIAL 

It seemed fitting to certain members of the Class, about the 
time of our Quinquennial Reunion, that steps should be taken 
toward marking with a simple stone the grave of Penny in the 
cemetery at Wellesley. A circular letter was accordingly sent 
out to the members of the Class by the Secretary, stating the 
object in view and inviting small subscriptions. A sum of 
thirty dollars was thus raised. The execution of the project 
was left in the hands of the president, who appointed Eastman 
to take charge of the matter. 

The latter wrote to Penny's old home for permission to place 

a stone upon the grave. He received the following letter in 

reply: 

Wallace, Idaho, August 8, 1902. 
Lttcius R. Eastman, Jr., 

10 Tremont Street, Boston. 
Dear Sir, — We have received your kind letter, and I assure you 
that we appreciate your respect and friendship for our loved one. 

We would not think of refusing you permission to erect the monu- 
ment according to your own plans, for it gives us joy to know that 
Theo's class have such deep respect and lasting friendship for him. 

Very truly yours, 

GERTRUDE PENKY. 



AMHERST COLLEGE 



53 



The enterprise was completed by the placing of the stone 
about the end of the year 1902. Penny is buried in a triangu- 
lar lot just large enough for one burial. The grave is marked 
by a simple block of gTay, Westerly granite, about eighteen 
inches in height and width and six inches in depth, with a 
sloping top. On the front of the stone is this inscription : 

Theodore Atwater Penny 
1866-1899 
Placed by his Class 
Amherst 1895 

The character of the spot is described thus by Eastman: 
"Yesterday I visited the cemetery and looked at the grave. 
The cemetery is about a mile from the village of Wellesley, in 
the hills. It is a quiet spot, far away from houses and factories, 
and Penny's grave is near the top of a little knoll, under a tree 
which later should become a magnificent one. As I stood near 
the tree I had a splendid sweep of country spread before me. 
While it cannot be said that it is Amherst scenery, or like the 
stretches of country to which Penny must have been accus- 
tomed in Idaho, yet I could not help feeling that here, perhaps, 
was a spot which Penny would have liked as much as any in 
Eastern Massachusetts. 

"The cemetery is not an old one, but it is under splendid 
management; and everything about the grave showed the best 
of care."
